I realize this approach looks strange to most people. Having taken a couple of Nick's workshops, I can say that I learned a lot from him, and I've used this approach for two years or so. And it often creates faster results than other approaches despite its random and strange appearance. And if you're curious about whether the grinder makes a breakthrough, he does. (I watched the DVD.)
@SiggyMe Chronic complainers are certainly a major target of this method. However, complaining is what most of us do when we are faced with a problem that we can't easily solve. For most of us, our first thought is how the OTHER person (or the world) could change so that we could feel better, and the next one is to think how unreasonable they are to do what they have been doing.
@SiggyMe It is usually only much later that we think about how WE could change our response or behavior to make a positive shift in a situation we don't like. Steve Andreas
As a current student in counseling psychology at U. of Denver, I must say I am intrigued with this approach... I happen to have a blunt therapeutic style naturally, however, this particular example come across as a waste of a session. Obviously being observed by a crowd may make that young man disinclined to react honestly, but there was no movement here. At some point her should have stopped being so "humorous" and reflected a feel feeling back to the client. imho
Lovely! Naughty to teasingly leave this half done. Ah well. ...I guess its the way things are! Really... And meant to be! We can complain about it but is Nick going to listen? Yes or No? Its one or the other. Exactly! Okay! Done. (or not done!) What's wrong with that?Yeah... Hasu :)
It seems without having prior knowledge that this designed how tedious and a waste of time to complain about something that either can't be changed or the person's refusal of the possible solution. Guess this would be aimed at chronic complainers?

Isn't this like Byron Katie's " loving what is"? I don't see what is provocative about that- isn't this acceptance of what IS....
